CoachJerry Bryson, in his third year at GW, says that this squad has more potential than any he has ever coached. His pitching staff is stronger and has more depth than those in the past and his hitting depth is stronger than any pre vious season. Coach Bryson said, “ When we went to Colorado my first year here I saw that those teams had boys hitting in the seventh and eighth slot who were homerun hitters and I started building.” The Bulldogs in the final year as a junior college would like to repeat as winners in the Western Carolinas conference and repre sent the conference in the eastern regionals.

G W home matches will be played at River Bend Club with tee-off Drills Underway Gardner-Webb College football Coach Norman Harris has begun spring drills with 48 men pre paring for their first year out of junior college ranks. Of the total, 19 will be juniors, 22 sophomores and seven new men. The coaching staff (Harris, Sanford and Ken Daves) stress ed improvement in all phases of the game with emphasis upon quickness. Practices consisted of drills in agility, quickness and fundamentals giving opportunity to get back into the “grove.” Coach Harris says, “There seems to be a lot of enthusiasm among the boys. They have gro'vn stronger in the weight program and will spend the spring work ing on our offenses and instill ing individual pride.” It is generally agreed that the best way for one to learn a for eign language is to be placed in an atmosphere of the language usage. M.A. Setzer, due to a fort unate twist in his Spanish lab, is making use of this principal. Freddy Rodreguez, student from Bolivia, and Rick Magna, student from Venezuala, are members of the lab and, since Spanish is their native language, each has taken half of the class and work with the students in grammer and pronounciation. A member of The Pilot staff sat in on the lab to observe and record the methods of the South American teachers. They each follow the same basic pattern. First, they read the lesson in Spanish, then allow each student to read while trying to imitate pronounciation. Each student re ceives direction in usage, and technique. Special emphasis is placed on pronounciation because this is one of the prime problems encountered in teaching Spanish. “Students try too hard to pro nounce words,” Freddy comm ented. “In providing direction to a student, let go with your mouth and associate it with your ear.” To help in understanding the lesson, the “teachers” some time translate difficult to under stand phrases or paragraphs in the lesson. Freddy continues his teaching cycle by asking quest ions of his group. Rick some times allows his students to ask questions of him about his homeland. The lesson goes on as parts are assigned students in skits. The cycle finally ends with the naming and pointing out of words and objects in Span ish. Freddy, on this particular day, discovered a peculiarity in the lesson: “ Choto! What a silly name for a dog. We have funny names in Spanish like you have in English, like Boiling Springs. Both teachers agree that the best way to leam Spanish is to spend anout three months in a Spanish-speaking country. The best, they feel, that one can do here is continually practice the Setzer agrees with the student professors in that practice is most essential in aquiring good usage of the Spanish language. He also agrees that students should get their ears tuned to it. Setzer said the work Rick and Freddy have been doing is good in that it presents a better working view of the language and its associated cultures than could a text book list of rules and facts.
